The Sunny Hours in Concert

With the first rain of notes from The Blue and Green Waltz, you’ll be whisked along on a vibrant musical journey: from lively swing melodies to poignant ballads to towering anthems as soaring and captivating as the Cascades themselves.

The music – from The Sunny Hours, a new, original musical – tells the story of a bright and determined high school girl in swing-era Seattle, Catherine, who plans a future that bucks the conventions of her time.

As we follow Catherine from her gritty Seattle younger days, through her life’s twists, turns, challenges, and triumphs, the expressive music and rich visual backdrops paint a vivid picture of her remarkable experiences…and bring Catherine’s uplifting character and resilience to life.

This is a charming story, based on real Washingtonians, and crafted by Washington State talent. The Book and Lyrics are by Tri-Cities native Eileen Voiland; music written by Seattle-based composers Nancy Erickson Lamont and Shawn Schlogel.

The concert will be performed by Tri-Cities, WA-based group Adrienne Fletcher, Hannah Evans, Samantha Gustafson, Ted Miller, Jason Morgan, and Julie Wiley, most of whom originated roles in The Sunny Hours Tri-Cities premiere, and are very excited to be performing on the wonderful Gesa Power House Theatre stage!
